As generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) became widely adopted and began reshaping industries worldwide, ABSA recognized its growing influence on the business landscape. In response, we structured our 2024 events around this transformative technology, focusing on how it shapes trust, innovation, and leadership in modern organizations.
We were honoured to host keynote speakers from KPMG, LinkedIn, and Citibank, who shared their expertise on the future of business, innovation, and leadership. Through their presentations, we explored the intersection of technology, strategy, and ethical decision-making, preparing students to navigate the rapidly evolving business world.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended the 2024 Student Business Conference, “Crafting the Future of Business.” This year’s event was a remarkable success, bringing together Australia’s brightest business students and top industry leaders for a day of insightful discussions and networking.

This year’s challenge brought together Australia’s brightest business students to tackle one of the most pressing issues in today’s corporate landscape—how AI can be leveraged to build and maintain trust in the public and private sectors.
Competing as consultants to the Australian business sector, teams developed innovative strategies to enhance transparency, accountability, and ethical AI adoption in real-world business scenarios. With expert judges from leading firms providing feedback, participants had the opportunity to showcase their problem-solving, analytical, and strategic thinking skills in a high-stakes environment.
Thank you to KPMG for partnering with ABSA, and to everyone who took part in this year’s competition!
